Sagittarius Rising

You’re at the beginning point in a process that will help you to greatly expand your reach in the world. New perspectives and attitudes are likely to emerge that will lead to a critical change in your routines as well as your ability to make contact with a larger audience. Listen to your longing to go beyond the familiar horizon. Remain receptive to the input from foreign or alien worldviews. Much of what you glimpse has the capacity to stimulate a creative process that will help to liven up your life and revolutionize your thinking. Don’t settle for safe or even simple solutions to your problems. Bravery is required now more than ever. You need to think larger than you presently think is possible. You’re about to take the onramp for a trip to another world (either literally or metaphorically) and you’ll find yourself in a dramatically changed environment by the solar eclipse on Aug 21.

Mars will be in Leo from July 20 through Sept 6. This is likely to be a rather restless period for you. You may not be satisfied with your usual environment, and may instead go seeking for new experiences, perceptions, and realities. Be mindful of over-exerting your reach. Push your experience just enough and you’ll end up with exactly what you need. The Sun conjoins Mars on July 26 creating a peak buildup of restless tension and enthusiasm for new discovery.

On July 24 a somber look and serious attitude may distance you from a partner, friend, or colleague. You’ve been in a process of redefining your life mission since early 2015. While you will benefit from solitude and self-reflection to get clear about this, you still need help from time to time. See what the other person has to say and what perspective they can offer.

On July 25 Mercury will begin a lengthy stay in Virgo this year due its retrograde cycle. This will greatly impact your professional life and reputation. Expect some revising, reworking, and re-strategizing about your current game plan to take place beginning Aug 13 which may change your present course, but also help you resolve any public relations issues.

Mercury will move back into Leo Sept 1, placing the spotlight on your perception and life outlook. Consider that whatever major changes or breakthroughs activated by the solar eclipse on Aug 21 will gain their most notable influence around Sept 3 through 5 with Mercury and Mars’ conjunction on the eclipse point. Expect a major perceptual breakthrough at this time.

Mercury re-enters Virgo Sept 11 through Oct 1 which will get you back on track and your public image polished. Professional developments will pick up their usual speed helping you to reach your goals with renewed clarity and sense of direction.

From July 31 until Aug 27 you’ll be in a brief cycle where you may gain financial benefit from a personal or professional partnership. Expect to receive deeper insights about yourself from your relationships which will help deepen established bonds and commitments.

On the days surrounding Aug 2 look out for new creative insights as well as unexpected opportunities for sexual or romantic fulfillment. This is a brief period that will help you to open up and allow yourself some much needed playtime and fun, as well as a sudden breakthrough in self-expression.

On Aug 4 be on the lookout for new connections that could help you gain more autonomy and self-sufficiency. Networking and reaching out could greatly benefit your financial state or

even your sense of confidence. You may have to face some truths that could be challenging, but if you remain receptive, you’ll reap some useful benefits.

This upcoming lunar eclipse could correlate with rapid changes in your thinking and communication style. Expect things to really speed up with increased phone calls, emails, or social interactions. Look out for a radical new way of seeing your world and embrace your restlessness to discover new realities.
